Correction. Add 1/2 degree right thrust, not 1 degree. Everything else I gave you is correct. The half degree is to correct a slight pull to the left at the top of tall verticals.

If you leave the stab as is and call that zero, set the wings at 1/2 + to the stab, and the motor at 1/2- to the stab and add 1 degree right thrust, you'll be happy.

I finally got around to building this plane - I have waited a long time

Like most people I found the stab is about 1deg positive to the wings. It's hard to see the thrust line (from the chin crease) especially on an all-white plane, but it seems like the wings are at 0, the motor at -2, and the stab at +1. I am going to work more on finding the datum tomorrow before decide on what I want to do about wing angles.

I guess I could lay out some lines relative to the stab and see how it looks.
